Democrats harping on Jan. 6 to push lie that GOP threatening democracy: Ingraham
The plan starts with releasing the 'media hounds,' she says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Laura Ingraham outlined the three-step plan that the left is following to sell the narrative that the Republican Party threatens democracy in Tuesday's opening monologue of "The Ingraham Angle."
Democrats have "decided to run on only one thing: Jan. 6," Ingraham said. "Now, unless Trump and others are put in handcuffs, democracy as we know it will end."

The plan's third step is to "change the rules," she added.
As for the first step, Ingraham noted liberal mainstream media's remembrance of Jan. 6, such as The New York Times' recent opinion piece, "Every Day Is Jan. 6 Now."

"The party opposed to lockdowns, COVID mandates and our continued dependence on the brutal Chinese regime — that's the tyrannical party," she said. "Nice try."
The left's third step, to "change the rules," has a new action item, with Ingraham saying lawyer Marc Elias "is actually floating the possibility of already using an obscure Civil War-era law to disqualify any Republican candidate who questioned the 2020 election results."

Left-wing politicians have also advocated ballot harvesting, vote-by-mail, early voting, no voter identification requirements and changing the filibuster.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., whose constituents include Big Tech in Silicon Valley, said: "We need to do much better in terms of regulations on misinformation and disinformation."

The host noted the irony of an anti-American party that has defamed the United States branding itself as a "[defender] of American democracy."
